    I pulled up behind an Insight today, and all I could think is how much cooler it would be if it were a CRX. #honda

    That CRX is so much better looking than the newer Hondas. And Mugen has never been worthy of consideration because their parts are so ridiculously overpriced. I imagine some self-important jerk somewhere in Japan decided to base prices on how big his ego is.

    And I agree Mugen has definitely gone downhill, now offering little more than cosmetic bits. #honda

    A number of years ago, I read a music critic's reference to Golden Earring's Radar Love as "the earth-mother from which punk rock was birthed." I didn't get that at all. I'd heard similar statements about I Wanna Be Your Dog and even 96 Tears, which I could accept — but what the heck did a poppy "progressive FM" radio hit have in common with the Ramones or the Clash?

    So I went back and listened to it again, and it was all there: the oddly syncopated, somewhat rushed, grunty lyrics; the raspy, up-all-night rasp to the lead vocals; the feedback-laden, repetitive guitar licks; the start-and-stop drum cadence — well, I'll be damned. The guy was clearly right, if a bit hyperbolic.

    Looking at the '84 Mugen CRX, I can now say that this is the earth-mother from which all ricers were birthed. #honda

    I realize it's not a Mugen, but no love for the Civic race car beside it? That CRX is wickedly cool, but it doesn't have a Band-Aid covering up some random ding. #honda

    That front end reminds me of the SVO Mustang, which started selling in the same year.

    @brandegee: The Saab 99 and 900 got their turbos in 1978, the same year as the 924 turbo. So not kicking ass before, but alongside.

    Go buy a CRX for $1500, then spend many times that for power upgrades from Mugen. Sounds like an expensive way to make your car(and maybe yourself) fall apart faster. #honda

    Honda production is mainly still motoroycles/mopeds [thanks to asia's demographics]. So where's a motop Repsol Honda CBR "KNEE DOWN AT THE APEX AND THE AIR TIME AFTER HITTING A CREST ON THE UP SHIFT TORQUE BAND ZOMG" commercial in America?
